You cannot expunge a DWI conviction from your NC criminal record. You used to be able to, but the expungement law was changed as of December 1, 2015. Hopefully, the legislature will revisit the law and revise it one day.

None - you don't get to terminate your parental rights unilaterally. the easiest way for your rights to be terminated is for her to sucker the Army boyfriend into marrying her and adoption the child. It would require your consent but it would end your obligation to pay child support.

Every body metabolizes alcohol differently based on a plethora of factors. The field or portable breath test is highly unreliable. Even the machine used at the station has a .02 +/- variance. But even if you were given the benefit of a .02 variance in your favor, you are still a full point above... View More

This really ought to be common sense for you but if mom owns or is otherwise in control of the house (ie via a lease) and mom said no - that's pretty much all you need to know. Be respectful and let that be the end of it. Even if boyfriend does have some legal right to allow you to live... View More

Yes, unless your absence to care for your child is otherwise covered under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). The FMLA provides covered employees who work for covered employers with up to 12 weeks of leave for a serious health condition. Not all employers and not all employees are covered by... View More

It is possible but it requires the consent of the sheriff in what ever county he wants to transfer to. Assuming you are talking about transferring to another county jail - the county sheriff is king and would make the ultimate decision regardless of what pretty much anyone else has to say about...

Possibly through your state's police regulations. Generally, should have been released through the criminal discovery process. Speak with the NC Civil Liberties Union.

For starters you could request an IEP and get a better place. There's usually no great answer on bullying. There should be a center in NC that deals with education law issues. The Education Law Center in Philadelphia might have the names of some NC organizations or where you can go to get such... View More

It likely depends on who owns the dog as to who gets to keep the dog. However, there may be some legal options so he should consult with a local attorney who can go over the situation in more detail and lay out his options.

Depends on what any Agreements or Court Orders already in place say. If you both have joint custody and there is nothing about being required to give each other consent / permission for medical procedures then - you likely don't have a case.

Sounds like more than a mailbox, no warrant no search --it's not "hot pursuit." But why not just turn the claim over to the insurance?

You do not request a pre-trial motion. You file it. What kind of pre-trial motion would this be? The common ones are motion for default judgment (if no answer is filed), motion for judgment on the pleadings (if an answer is filed but there is no need for discovery) or a motion for summary...
